If you change your Westnet password, your Broadband modem needs to be updated to reflect this. If this is not done, you will experience difficulties next time you connect to Westnet.

To update the password stored within your OPEN Networks iConnectAccess 611, 612, 621, 622, 624 or 624W broadband modem, please follow the instructions below.

For all other modems please refer to the modem's manual or contact Westnet Support on 1300 786 068 for further assistance.
